An investment of €91m has been announced at the Boston Scientific plant in Galway city, leading to the immediate creation of 45 jobs at the medical devices company.
Boston Scientific Senior Vice President Hank Kucheman highlighted the ongoing successful performance of the Galway plant.
He said the highly-educated and technically skilled workforce at Ballybrit was a key part of the decision to make further strategic investment there.
Earlier this year, the company announced that its Donegal facility would close in 2010 with manufacturing moving to Galway. There are currently 3,000 people working at Boston Scientific’s Galway site.

Tullamore recieved a major jobs blow today with the news that Boston Scientific will close operations with the loss of about 250 jobs.

Cork had bad news also with the loss for 250 job with a Civil Engineering company closing operations. Perhaps this news is not surprising with the current woes in the construction sector.
